Vertical menu wont move with rest of objects
Posted: Fri, 2008-07-25 12:01
This is the first time I have created a vertical menu that centers on the screen. I have gotten all the page elements to center, but the menu. It is fixed and doesn't move with the rest of the page.
Here is the link:

Is there some way to attach the menu with the content area so they all move together. When I try to center it, it moves up above the content area. Putting the float: left helped that problem, but it still won't move with the rest of the page.
Here is the CSS for the menu and content.
body {
margin:50 px 0px; padding: 0px;
font-family:"Verdana",verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:small;
text-align:center;
background:#d4f7c3 url(/images/bodybkgd.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
img {
position: relative;
}
p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
margin-bottom:1.25em;
}
.dropcap {
float:left;
color:#ffffff;
font-size:3em;
line-height:70%;
padding-top:2px;
padding-right:4px;
font-family: Georgia,Times,serif;
position: relative;
}
#container {
background:transparent;
}
#header {
height:235px;
margin:0px auto;
padding:0px;
background: url(/images/headerlogo.gif) no-repeat center top;
}
#header h1 {
position:relative;
top:48px;
left:63px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-family:"Georgia", serif;
font-size: x-large;
font-weight: bold;
color:#ccdddd;
z-index: 5;
/* float:left; */
/* display:none; */
}
#holder {
margin:0px;
}
#menuholder {
margin:0px auto;
}
#menu {
background-color:#9b7851;
position:relative;
float: left;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
font-size:medium;
z-index:10;
left:43px;
top:0px;
width:152px;
height:100%;
border-width:4px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#9ad621;
}
#content {
position: relative;
background:transparent;
margin:0px ;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:750px;
}
#contentholder {
position:relative;
background:#d4f7c3;
padding:12px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
}

I wrote th previous post this morning after working for quite some time trying to figure out why the menu won't move like the rest of the elements. But no one has answered by post
I hope I was clear enough or that I didn't offend everyone by not saying Thank you. Is there any help out there for me? Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me figure this out.

You've got a 985px wide header centered between the rails.
A 910px wide horizontal menu against the left rail.
A 752px content block against the left rail.
A vertical menu 60px right of the left rail within the above 752px wide content block.
Exactly what would like to move, and where exactly would like to move it?

The vertical menu is actually outside the content block -- on the left of the content block. When the screen resizes the vertical menu stays stationary and I would like it to move with the resize -- with the header, horizontal menu and content areas. If the screen gets larger there is a gap in between the vertical menu and the content area. If the screen is smaller, the content area goes below the vertical menu. I can't figure out how to get the vertical menu to move with the rest of the blocks. Thanks for any help I can get on this. I am using a CMS and don't want to put the vertical menu inside the content area.
